Cuckoo Clock Farmer (M)
The Farmers Chalet Limited Edition
Last model from Lötscher
This very special limited edition Lötscher cuckoo clock features a classic Swiss farm scene. At the centre of it all is our hardworking but friendly farmer behind his wheelbarrow. This picturesque pastoral scene is made up of three moving elements: the dancers on the balcony, the water wheel and the haystack in front of the cow.
Features:
Gold plaque: A gold plaque with a sequential number is attached to the clock.
Dimensions: 34 x 43 cm - 13' x 16'
Movement: Mechanical. The movement runs for 1 day before you need to wind the chain.
Made in Switzerland
Manufacturer: Lötscher
Moving elements: Dancing couples positioned below the cuckoo that spin to the music. A water wheel and a haystack that spins when the music plays.
Figures and ornaments: The figures are hand carved and hand painted, which makes each one of them original and unique.
Night function: A manual switch that allows you to turn off the music and cuckoo without affecting the clockwork.
Music: Every half hour
Melodies: The Happy Wanderer and Edelweiss
Warranty: None
Nice to know: Freshly serviced
The quality and spirit of Switzerland
Lötscher clocks are a piece of Switzerland because of the materials they contain and because of the stories they tell.
Locally sourced Swiss materials and craftsmen: The stones, sand and
linden wood are locally sourced, from Loetscher's nearby hometown of Brienz. Brienz is a cozy little alpine village right in the heart of Switzerland, on the northern shore of the breathtakingly beautiful Lake Brienz. This peaceful, idyllic hamlet of just over 2,000 residents has built a reputation over the centuries for its artisans in the woodworking industry. These gifted craftsmen and artisans are admired across the continent for consistently producing woodwork of the highest quality. Not surprisingly, Brienz has a world-renowned wood carving school.
Swiss Culture and Stories: The world-famous stories of Heidi, the enchanting orphan, and Barry, the legendary rescue dog, are interwoven with depictions of other Swiss culture, architecture, native wildlife and traditions.
Loetscher built its first clock in 1920 and is delighted to say that every Loetscher cuckoo clock built today contains the same loving care and craftsmanship that went into their first clock, making each one a truly timeless timepiece. Loetscher is also proud to say that they are the only true Swiss chalet cuckoo clock manufacturer today.
Lötscher operates two factories in different parts of Switzerland that have specific
tasks in the production of the clocks. All of the initial steps of building the clocks are done at their woodworking plant in Brienz, a small village in central Switzerland in the canton of Bern. Their wood craftsmen use wood that has been aged for several years (to ensure it won't warp or crack in wet or dry environments) and hand carve each chalet and all of the figures that decorate it. This initial process takes time and is the most costly way to build clocks, but it is what sets Loetscher apart from the rest.
The finished clock bodies are then taken to their assembly plant in Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance, where the clockworks, music boxes and gears that allow the figures to move are assembled and built into the clocks. And finally, the weights and pendulums are added and the final steps of assembly are completed.
